The Rattle in Jefferson County.
CHARLEsTowN, JEFFERSON, Co., w. VA,
March % 1887

~.
March "a, 1887.
To The Editor Of the Register.
The opposing forces in Jefferson county
have at last abandoned guerrilla warfare
and are drawn up in line of battle. The
kickers have announced Col. Frank Beck
with rs their candidate for the Legislature
Subject to the decision of the nominating
convention" Col. Beckwith is we'll
known lawyer of this place; he was mem
Der of the Lower House of the Legislature
of 81, and was appointed on the staff OF
Governor Jackson. Col. Beckwith has eX-
pressed himself as willing, if elected to the
Legislature, TO enter the caucus and vote
for it's nominee, should the Legislature go
into the election of a SenatOr-pro-
vided Senator Camden be withdrawn
from the contest; he says that he
holds the position of Messrs. Lucas and
Chew. The propriety of expecting the voters
(DemOcratic) of the county to feel bound
by convention decision should it be in
his tavor) to accept him as their candidate
and yet refuse himself, 10 acknowledge the
authority of . party caucus has not yet
been made clear. Col Beckwith states,
moreover, ludl uC NOuslhSlS bAAO AAlhbbSA va
the right of the extra session to elect
Senator, which has been and is the subject
of so much discussion, n nice constitutional
question, and one for the Legislature and
not party caucus to settle, and that i'll
his opinion the National and State Con-
stitutiOns do not conflict; in other
words, be believes the National COnstitu
tion does not require, nor the State COnsti-
tuition permit q Senator to be elected by
the Legislature at a called meeting. The
Colonel being not only untavOrable to Mr..
Camden in event of an election, but OppOS-
ed to any election at the extra session, his
candidacy offers double chance to Mr..
Camden's opponents, who are inclined to
jump at it.
Col. Beckwith and Col. Chew spoke at
Dutlields, this county, last night, and at
the conclusion of their addresses indicated
their willingness to answer any questions
that might be propOunded. John ..
AgliOnby, Esq, u prominent farmer Of
that neighbOrhOOd, rose equal to the occa-
sion and proposed some problems which
proved rather confusing to the speakers OF
the evening. | understand the serenity of
the meeting was considerably disturbed.
Public speaking is announced for different
places in the county during the remainder
of the week by Hon. ID. T. Lucas, Senators
G.. f.. Price and FlouTnOy, Coils. Chew and
Beckwith and others. Senator FlOuTnOy
is already here.
Isn't it rather strange, Mr.. Editor, that
Messrs. Lucas and Chew, who claimed to
be almost sOldly backed in their action rs
members of the Legislature by their con-
stitucnts to voice the sentiment of the
masses of Jefferson, should find it neceS
sary to make speeches throughout the
county in defense of, or apology for, their
course? l.. y. X.

CINCINNATI. Dec. 3-Mr. William j. Cop

the suicide, began yesterday to examine
kebler's effects. In his private safe ut his
'fiice he found great many Small notes
and mortgages that were genuine and
quantity OF stock, If small aggre-
gate value. There were also Ia this
same sufe q large number Of notes
for sums from Sl.50O to $500 that
were proven forgeries on the spot. The
large office safe was also opened and It's
contents were astonishing to the seventy
five or eighty persons present. many VI
whom were lawyers. Every thing here
was in the utmost confusi. n. There were
fully fifty letters addressed to Charles
A. kebier that had never been
opened. The administrator did moth
ing more than take general
survey. Here. too, were stocks Of more or
less value and mortgages and notes all
mingled and mixed together. The admin
istrator and the attorneys present could do
nothing with this mass OF disordered pa
pers but try to get them arranged. Exam
nation into their ecnuireness was post
pOned- The investigation will continue

NEW York, Dec. 3-The Journal Of Uni
ted Lc60r, Of Philadelphia, contains u second
letter from Mr.. POwderly on the Works OF
knigbthOod." In the course of its three
columns he says: From an organization
numbering less than ten thousand men,
bers when the first general assembly was
held, we have seen the Knights OF Labor
grow until over seven hundred thousand
men and women claimed membership
at one time. While that vast indus
trial army was being gathered together,
while the seed was being sOwn, men
who were pioneers were making sacrifices
that the order might live in history as ..
power fo- gOCd-Een good and true-wcre
blachmaied and discharged. They never
murmured. They were no. working for
self nor the present; they were working
Tor posterity and the future. When /
hear men talk OF seeding from the organ
izatiOn with the threat Of starting an in
proved order, fancy that they know but
little Of the trials, the dangers and
the odds against which they have to con-
tend, and / feel that tile amount OF energy
necessary to build up q new order, II
properly applied to the old one, would make
it nvincible. 1t is true that n the old Or
ganization all who aspire can not be OIL
GERS, all who pull wires can not succeed in
getting a position, but it is equally true
that il they secede, and il they succeed in
building up a new order, they only make 1t
possible for other men TO pull wires and
aspire to the places which they continually
hope to secure for themselves. II in the
new order they succeed better than in the
old one and secure Offices they dose only to
find at their elbows men VINO, like them
selves, will stop at nothing mean nor low
to compass their ends.''

fenced FOR seven years for burglary. who
was confined in a cell. Mr.. Owen opened
the cell door to give Logan his food, wher
the latter grabbed the sheriff around the
shoulders, holding his arms tightly by his
side, and shouted to the other prisoners TO
skip. Despite all his struggling Sheriff
Owenswas unable to free himself, and Har-
din McAlpln, just sentenced to eight
years in the penitentiary, and Isaac
Wright, serving jail sentence, both
ran through the guard room and out Of
the side door. Logan then dashed the
sheriff to the floor OF the Jail and ran. Mr..
Owens fired at him IS soon as he could re-
gain his feet, but all three prisoners disap-
peared in the darkness. Officers were i'm

JACOB SHARP.

Tho New York Court Of Appeals Grants
Him n New Trial.
ALBANY, N. Y, Nov N.-The Court OF
ppeals handed down its decision in the
Jacob Sharp case yesterday morning. 1t
reverses the decision of the lower court
and orders new trial The decision says:
During the trial OK ceptiOns were taken in
behalf Of the defendant to several de-
cisions Of the trial court in admitting
against his objection certain items of testi.
mony which 1t is conceded were material,
and without which it is claimed by the ape
pellant u conviction could not or might not
have been obtained. First, among others,
the counsel for the prosecution proved
that the defendant was examined as
q witness before a committee of the
Senate Of this State, appointed to
investigate among other things the
methods of the Broadway Railway
Company in obtaining such consent and
also the action IN respect thereto OF the
Board Of Aldermen OF said city which
granted, or Of any member thereof who
voted for the same, and that he upon that
occasion gave testimony which the learned
council for the prosecution claimed to be
irrefutable evidence Of his participation
and completely IN the commission of the
crime. This testimony the prosecution
offered in evidence. Its admission on the
trial was objected 10 on the ground that it
was given under privileged circumstances:
that the defendant was compelled to attend
and testify, and that evidence thus
elected was not competent upon the trial
Of person where the subject under inquiry
is that about which he was then interro-
gated" The court decides that the admis-
sion Of this testimony was contrary TO sec
ton ~ Of the penal code and was there
fore an error. The admission Of the
Pottle testimony was also an error. An
other error was found in the examination
OF the witness, ex-Alderman Miller.
